[Get Started](https://app.spot.insure/signup?coverage=builders-risk). Spot is not an insurance carrier and takes no commissions on premiums; you can keep your broker or switch.

## How Spot helps

1. **Describe the project.** Your Spot team collects the project description, location, work completed so far, expected schedule and completed value, along with which costs that value includes and how you’ll report change orders.
2. **See what each quote covers on site and off.** Brokers take your project to market, and we show whether each proposal protects materials, fixtures and building equipment, how it treats your contractor’s tools, and what applies at the jobsite, in storage and in transit.
3. **Check when coverage starts and ends.** Spot flags when coverage starts and ends, how completion, acceptance or occupancy affects it, how a percentage deductible is calculated, and how faulty work and the damage that follows are treated.
4. **Keep coverage going if the job runs long.** Your Spot team keeps the policy, schedule and change-order records together and brings the renewal forward if the project runs past its expected end.

## Who we help

- **Owners building or renovating.** Your project isn’t finished, and the quote has to treat the new work and any existing structure separately.
- **General contractors.** You need to know whether materials, fixtures and equipment going into the building are protected, and how the policy treats your own tools.
- **Remodelers.** Renovation puts new work next to an existing structure, and each proposal has to say which of them it protects.
- **Developers with long schedules.** If the work runs past its expected end, you need to know when coverage stops and what happens next.

## When to get this coverage

- **You’re about to break ground.** Coverage needs to be in place before work starts. Share the project details early so you have time to compare proposals.
- **A change order raised the project value.** Completed value can move with each change order. Agree how you’ll report changes before the first one comes in.
- **Your project is running late.** Ask when coverage ends if the work runs late, and what happens if completion or occupancy comes first.
- **You’re renovating an existing building.** Describe the new work and the existing structure separately, so each proposal shows how it treats both.
- **Materials are stored off site.** Storage and transit can carry different terms from the jobsite. Check them instead of assuming protection follows the materials.

## Common questions

Also known as builder’s risk insurance, course of construction insurance and builders risk coverage.

### Can Spot work with the broker who handles our construction insurance?

Yes. Spot prepares the project submission and compares proposals alongside your construction broker, and takes no commissions on premiums. If you’d rather use a different broker for this project, we can help you switch.

### What does builders risk cover?

Builders risk, also called builder’s risk or course of construction insurance, can help protect your project property from physical loss while construction is underway. Which property and causes of loss are covered varies by policy, so Spot sets them out for each proposal.

### Does builders risk cover injuries on the site?

No. Damage to your construction project is a separate question from claims that someone was injured or their property was damaged, which is a liability matter.

### Are my contractor’s tools covered?

Don’t assume so. Materials, fixtures and equipment intended for the building can be treated differently from a contractor’s tools, so Spot asks how each proposal handles both.

### Which project details do brokers need for a quote?

They need a project description, the location, the work completed so far, the expected construction schedule and the completed value, including which costs it covers.
